That is true, Paul, wanted a link to the old team. What I've read about the original 1930s Bengals doesn't say where that name came from.
With a name like Bengals, your color scheme is pretty much etched in stone. Of course, there are damn few blue lions or green eagles, so what the hell.

The white one in the left is hideous, though the one on the right is interesting. He must have really loved that striped number, it obviously stayed with him some years later.
